Technical and Historical Notes:
The ZGMF-X56S/è Destiny Impulse is an upgraded version of the ZGMF-X56S Impulse. When the ZGMF-X42S was being piloted by by ZAFT pilot Shinn. ZAFT decided to upgrade the Impulse to be able to the "Destiny Silhouette". The colors are differerent. An extra battery was installed in the Impulse to compensate for the power drain of the Destiny Silhouette. The Destiny Impulse no longer uses the other Silhouettes as it no longer needs them. The Destiny Impulse has also been equiped with the "Hikari no Tsubasa" beam wings as was the Destiny Gundam so that the pilot can be just as effective on the battle field even without having the Destiny Gundam. The second battery is used to support the Wings of Light and the beam shields so that each has only 4 uses alone but if the shields are used or the wings are used the other system looses a use and drops to 3. This was suppose to be Luna's upgraded mobile suit, but it was stolen by Creuset Faction member, Yumi Ishikawa.
